Just as gay men had to be portrayed as a bunch of "nancies" to be accepted in the mainstream in the beginning, transsexuals ala trans-women, ala ->-bleeped-<-s ~ they'll never get it ~ must be portrayed as prostitutes or sexual playthings to be acceptable. This society is not comfortable with the idear that people with any kind of alternative bent or background could possible be happy, or even happier than the people watching the portrayal. That would be tooooooo dangerous.
